Will the Commission provide a full breakdown of the total cost of installing the new Tripleplay set top boxes to screens across the Senedd estate?
Ken Skates MS on behalf of the Senedd Commission:
The Tripleplay set top boxes were introduced as part of a larger project to replace the ageing internal television system across the Cardiff Bay estate with a new, combined digital signage and IPTV platform that also improved public displays and digital signage. As a result, the core system components deliver a range of improvements to visitors and those who work on the Estate.
